As filed

Compared to last week: On a lighter test of feeders, feeder steers sold 2.00 to 9.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Good rains in the area and a forcast of cooler temperatures over the next week helped push the market higher on feeders. Slaughter cows were steady to 5.00 higher and no comparison on slaughter bulls due to a light test last week. Demand was good, feeder supply was moderate and slaughter cow and bull supply was good.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle
